Best San Francisco Giants TV plans
When it comes to watching the San Francisco Giants, the best TV plan depends on your budget and location. In-market coverage via NBC Sports Bay Area is widely available through most cable, satellite, and live TV streaming services. Even Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV offer the channel despite not always having regional sports networks.
In my experience, DIRECTV delivers the most comprehensive local and national MLB coverage. It has NBC Sports Bay Area as well as national MLB channels like FOX, NBC, FS1, and MLB Network.
If you live outside the Giants’ home market, you’ll need MLB.TV or MLB EXTRA INNINGS to catch those NBC Sports Bay Area games.
Standalone Giants in-market TV packages
For local fans who don’t need a full-blown TV plan, the cheapest way to stream NBC Sports Bay Area’s Giants broadcasts is through GIANTS.TV at $19.99/mo. Although I haven’t personally tested it, GIANTS.TV works a lot like MLB.TV in the MLB app, which offers a smooth viewing experience as long as you have a reliable internet connection.
Alternatively, if you’re already a Peacock Premium subscriber, you can add NBC Sports Bay Area to any base plan ($7.99–$16.99/mo.) for an extra $17.95/mo. That’s a handy option if you also support the Golden State Warriors.
How to watch the San Francisco Giants FAQ
How can I watch the San Francisco Giants on Apple TV?
You can stream select Giants games on Apple TV via its weekly Friday Night Baseball telecast. Additional games are accessible on Apple TV devices through TV provider apps—including the MLB app—by logging in with a qualifying TV subscription.

Fans within the NBC Sports Bay Area broadcast region can get the channel through select TV providers and as an add-on through Peacock.
